Unarmored Dex Fighters

[Light Knight]

Trying to design a new archetype of the figther, that is dex based, and unarmored.

What kind of suggestions can you give, for replacement for the armor/shield feats and armor trainings?

.... monk?

.... monk?

Thanks captain obvious!

Thats why the subject is unarmored dex fighters.

I aim to please.

So is there something wrong with monk for your concept? It really does the unarmored combatant thing very very well, so I'm just trying to figure out what you're after.

I don't like all the mystical mumbo jumbo, monk weapon stuffage....I want to play a fighter, who is dex based, and gets combat feats, and can use fighter specific feats. I can play a straight fighter....but sort of gimped a little bit by not utilizing the whole armor thing..

i did modify the D&D class construction rules, to pathfinder, and the rogue and fighter balance just fine, and built something using that...but looking for other suggestions or ideas.

If this is for a specific character, what kind of stats and starting level are you looking at? Also, what type of weapons do you plan to use the most?

 

[Light Knight]

Not specific character, have had several players show interest in playing a base fighter, but not relying on armor...

So you want a Rogue . . .

I kid. Here is something you can build off of: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/cor...etypes/paizo---fighter-archetypes/lore-warden

I agree with the above posters that you should be able to get the type of feel that you are looking for by using either a monk or a rogue. If you don't want the monk mystical weirdness then you could go with either the Martial Artist, or the Maneuver master. The martial artist archetype even lets you qualify for fighter feats using your monk level starting at 4th.

Also, the Savage barbarian seems to fit the idea that you are trying to get, but you wont get fighter feats.

Basically if you want to play a fighter, they are really good at being fighters and you should do that. Armor is one of their things. There are however other options for playing characters without armor, and you should be willing to explore those.

What's more important? Playing the concept that you are going for? Someone that kicks ass without armor? Or playing a fighter so you can get weapon spec?
